St Cybi's Well is a medieval holy well located in Conwy, Wales, dedicated to the sixth-century saint Cybi. The well comprises a stone-lined chamber and associated structures typical of Welsh holy wells, which served both ritual and devotional purposes throughout the medieval period and beyond. Such wells were customarily visited by pilgrims seeking healing or spiritual benefit, and their association with early saints reflected the continuity of Christian worship in Wales from the early medieval period onwards. The site remains an important example of the religious landscape of medieval Conwy and the enduring folk religious practices connected to sacred water sources in Wales.
